Re: Do heated seats help any of you?

[Guest guest]

BMWs have heated seats, but I don't have one. I have a 2007 Ford Focus Hatchback. The car, despite its size, heats up very quickly in the AM. I have had it for 3 months & I love it!

Do any of you have heated seats, and did they make a difference for you when traveling?Thanks,Jean

I have heated seats in my VW bug. They do feel really good, I don't know if

they actually help though.

I really liked them, but I tend to have low energy and felt even more tired. Marie

Dear Jean- Lots of leg room will help. Getting off the road to get out and walk around once every hour helps. I would get a heated massage if it can be included. Yours, Deborah

I have a Honda Accord, the heated seats help me and so does the

electric functions on the seat. Now on long trips I can adjust

without the physical pain and the heat goes kind of on and off. So it

kind of " wakes " your body up. In the Accord the heat is mostly if not

all in the bottom on the seat.

Hope that helps?

Good luck,
